I am a big supporter of webkinz. My kids have a total of 3 dolls which is plenty. The website is excellent, although seems to bog down more as it gets more popular. It has taught my daughter computer skills, money management, how to earn money to buy the things you want (within webkinz), There are many games and many different ways to "build" up your pets skills etc. There are also many things she does on a regular basis akin to chores. Skills she will need in life. She tends to go on for about 30 minutes every couple of days but we do monitor her when she is on it.
On a side note she was at a friends house and her friend taught her how to enter something in a search engine and the next thing I know she is on webtube watching a video of a guy screaming at people. Harmless but made me realize I need to scrutinze her even closer.
